United are weighing up a late transfer window swoop for Celtic midfield powerhouse Victor Wanyama.

The Reds have scouted the 21-year-old Kenyan all season with Sir Alex Ferguson’s brother Martin a frequent visitor to Parkhead.

The Old Trafford boss took a personal look at him last week during Celtic’s SPL home win over Dundee United while he was in Glasgow for the funeral of Celtic legend Sean Fallon, Jock Stein's former right-hand man.
